Grassland Poultry, run by Bryan and Kim Kiss, operates from their 1500-hectare farm called ‘Meramie’. This patch is mostly Box Gum grassy woodland, which is just about perfect for chooks that love to scratch around and forage naturally. You see, they reckon Australia's best chicken starts with the best genetics, and they've put that into practice by raising Sommerlad Heritage Chickens. These birds are slow-growing and really thrive in our Aussie conditions, actively foraging for their tucker. That natural approach means healthy, happy birds without the need for antibiotics or nasty chemicals, giving them strong bones and, most importantly, award-winning flavour and texture. Everything happens on-farm too, from breeding and hatching to raising and processing, which is pretty rare for a pastured meat bird outfit. You can grab whole chickens, chicken portions, and even smoked chicken. They also do easy weeknight meal starters like pies, rissoles, sausages, and meatballs, alongside other chicken products and smallgoods. If you're not in the area, they also cater to your pets with a range of pet food. While based in Wellington, NSW, you can pick up your online orders there, or from Dubbo, Orange, or Mudgee. And if those spots don't suit, they've got stockists scattered all over the place.
